UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JNO. A. JORDAN, OF SHELBYVILLE, TENNESSEE.

CHURN'.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 19,782, dated March 30, 1858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN A. JORDAN, of Shelbyville, in the county ofBedford and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact description thereof.

The nature of my invention consists of a frame or churn body, havingtherein a revolving and a stationary wheel with gearing arrangement, andthe bottom of the churn constituting at the same time the top of astove, said stove being used for warming the cream.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I willproceed to describe its construction and operation,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is an outside view of the churn and shows the churn, the stove,the crank by which the Wheel within is made torevolve, the thumb clamp,and the gearing bar. Fig. 2 is the top of the churn. Fig. 3 is asectional view, showing the stationary and revolving wheel and theirarrangement, and also the pipe for the escape of smoke from the stove.Fig. 4 shows the stationary and revolving whels.

The inner wheel is corrugated on its circumference and is heldstationary by a pin 09, Fig. 3, which passes through the revolving orouter wheel, one end resting in an aperture in the gearing bar and theother fastened by a screw into the edge of the inner wheel. This innercorrugated wheel is marked C in Figs. 3 and 4. The wheel C is fastenedand held in place near the crank side by a projection from the wheelresting against and pressing upon or being pressed by the inner end ofthe crank E, Fig. 3. On the inside of the bearing the crank is squaresided, so that fitting into a like aperture in the stationary wheel G,Figs. 3 and 4, the outer wheel D, Figs. 3 and 4, is made to revolve bymotion of the crank either backward or forward at will. The inner wheelC, Figs. 3 and 4, has circular or other orifices through it admitting ofthe passage of the liquid or cream which is being agitated by the largerand outer wheel D, Figs.

3 and 4, in its revolutions. This larger wheel or dasher D, Figs. 3 and4, has indentations b b, Figs. 3 and 4, of various shapes on bothsurfaces, by which the air is carried down and under the surface of thecream and into which the particles of butter are collected as soon asformed. The close box bearing of the crank E and the bearing of thedasher and the stationary wheel at the opposite point being upon thegearing bar K, Figs. 1 and 3, the churn is thus water tight, Theadjustment of these wheels C and D, is made rapidly or the wheels areremoved entirely when required by pulling out the gearing bar K, Figs. 1and 3, which works in a slot on the inner surface of the churn. The bodyof the churn is placed within a metallic casing L, Fig. 1, fitting itsbottom and lower end. This casing L, Fig. 1, also forms the top to astove H, Figs. 1 and 3, upon which the whole rests, c c 0 representingthe feet of said stove, and I, Fig. 3, the pipe to carry 01f the smoke.

The cream having been placed in the -The motion naturally given to thecream by this action brings it in contact wit-h the stationary wheel C,Figs. 3 and 4, over and through the orifices of which it passes and isbroken, again to be moved by the dasher.

-In this manner butter is formed in an incredibly short space of timeand all the butter contained by the cream is collected, and thebuttermilk remains,-and both are ready for use.

WVhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isThe employment of the revolving wheel D and stationary wheel Oconstructed and operating in the churn as set forth, the bottom of thesame being fitted to a stove casing in the manner and for the purposesspecified.
